I am a bit worries, what could it be it has been going on for a few days but sounds really bad today, i have given her some grit as she ate lopts of very large slugs yesterday so wondering if one is stuck.
she is laying, eatin, drinking and alert.
Any ideas?

Any other symptoms at all? Bubbly eyes? If she's still eating and drinking then she's probably fine!

she does seem top have a runny beak do hickens get colds.
I am sure ages ago that I swa bubbly eyes on one of my chooks and thought that is really odd and then forgot all about it, what does that mean?

bubbly eyes can be a symptom of mycoplasma which is a respiratory illness chickens can get. If they get this then they need to be treated by an AB - usually Tylan (it's worth seeing a vet, armed with this knowledge in case he doesn't know ). The other chicken AB is Baytril, but I think Tylan is better for resp. conditions. There is a period of egg withdrawal.

Otoh, if they're happy and seem ok, just monitor the sitation. You might want to isolate the sick one to prevent infecting the others, but that depends on what facilities you have.
